CURRENTLY CONDUCTING MOCK 11+ entry examinations

**Currently organising several sessions of mock 11+ tests in preparation for the upcoming entry examinations for top UK independent schools.

I specialise in entry examinations for private schools in London including Eton, St. Paul's, Westminster, King's College and Wimbledon and have over 10 years of experience preparing students for all aspects of the exam.
My main speciality and reason for being a successful tutor is in helping students who are achieving remarkably low grades, and have upcoming exams. In the past, I have tutored a number of students who achieved grade D and below in mocks before their important GCSE, A level, IB exams (almost all of them attending top London private schools) and their parents and guardians contacting me as a form of an intervention. I start by getting to know the student, reason for their performance and organise a revision plan for the coming weeks/days. Majority of the time, it is due to the student being in an extremely competitive environment, being under immense pressure and feeling demoralised and showing a lack of faith in their own ability. With the right kind of encouragement and teaching, students show remarkable progress and go on to achieve A*s and As.

INTRODUCTION
I have been tutoring for over 10 years and have experience of teaching in both classrooms and on one-to-one basis. I have taught a variety of subjects to a variety of age groups, clocking up 10,000+ hours of tuition. I am currently a top tutor for a prestigious London tutoring company. I have experience of teaching students attending London's top private schools such as Colet Court, St Paul's, Westminster and Eton. I am extremely organised and plan each lesson meticulously. I have excellent track record of helping students achieving high grades in a very short amount of time. I have worked with a number of elite clients, with a very positive response.

MY APPROACH
One of the main reasons for my excellent track record is that I only work with a selected few clients at a time. This allows me plan my lessons to a high level, offer flexibility and have a good understanding of my students. As a tutor, it is my role not just to teach but also provide students with emotional support and guidance, which in turn is seen through an improvement in their learning.

TUTORING EXPERIENCE
I started tutoring while at college. I was based 5 minutes from one of the country’s top grammar schools and started preparing students for 11+ entry examination (Maths, English, Verbal and Non-verbal reasoning) as a part time job. The sessions became so popular that for the next several years, along with my siblings (Oxford and UCL graduates) we started to hold regular summer sessions to prepare the students for the grammar school entry examination.

After moving to London for university I started tutoring locally, specialising in Maths, Science, English and 11+ and 13+ entry examinations. I started working with a number of high profile clients after getting good reviews and recommendations. I regularly teach students attending London’s top private schools, with excellent results. I currently also work with a top tutoring agency Titanium Tutors as a Band 5 tutor (their longest-standing and most experienced tutors). I have taught internationally and as a holiday tutor with loyal clients based in Dubai and France.

ACHIEVEMENTS
I have a degree in Biomedical Sciences from the prestigious King’s college London. I also took part in research and worked in hospitals abroad. While still at university, I was able to research and co-write a scientific paper, which was later published in BMC, an internationally acclaimed medical journal (Serum ferritin levels, socio-demographic factors and desferrioxamine therapy in multi-transfused thalassemia major patients at a government tertiary care hospital).

BOOKING LESSONS
I only commit to my clients after ensuring I am the best and most suitable tutor for their needs. I only have a set number of clients at any point ensuring that I able to fully commit to each family and offer them a flexible schedule, dealing with any last minute emergency sessions. Please contact me with any questions and for specific timing slots, as I have available sessions which are not listed. Also please confirm all lessons prior to any bookings as some lessons are reserved.

Great tutor

When I arrived to England in 2009, my English was very archaic. I was unable to express myself properly, I was hesitating and I made many grammatical mistakes.
Qandeel was able to help me with English grammar, more more importantly bring me the confidence I needed to speak comfortably without being ashamed of making mistakes.

Subject:

English

Outcome:

Thanks to Qandeel, I was able to obtain a high 2.1 at a Masters Degree and get a job in a big 4 auditing firm.

I was very happy with her teaching as she helped me understand the topics I struggled with and devised revision plans/strategies, all of which helped to improve my grade from a C to A. Furthermore, she helped me prepare for Dentistry interviews which I have been successful at as I am currently studying Dentistry at University of Liverpool.

She had a flexible approach to teaching which really helped me as I can get bored easily, and most importantly she made sure she was always available when I needed extra lessons, or just general help. I would recommend her to all.

Initial Consultation with Qandeel

Qandeel was very thorough in her explanations to the questions which I had and also offered good information on what to expect going forward in preparing for exams and in school generally. She took the time to listen to me as well as to my daughter and really tried to understand what our goals were from this first meeting. I appreciated her "initial consultation rate" and thought she had a calming and intelligent demeanor.

Outcome:

We have agreed to set up a mutually convenient time to begin a few lessons. I would, at this point, like to negotiate a favourable rate first however.
